Reports are surfacing this morning that indicate Pres. Obama has added former Army intelligence analyst Chelsea Manning to his short list of possible commutations, according to an unnamed Justice Department source speaking with NBC News.

Manning is currently serving a 35-year sentence for liberating government documents later published by WikiLeaks, or as the government frames it, leaking classified information.
